After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

"I didn't know Mr. Fang had such a past. It's really touching."

Chen Min'an stroked his beard and asked tentatively, "Mr. Fang has been keeping a low profile for many years. Now that he's suing Prince Ning, are you sure he can?"

If Fang Jin could really bring down the Ning Palace... and the Third Princess took the opportunity to take over the power of the Ning Palace, it would be equivalent to the Second Prince becoming more powerful.

Fang Jin sat in the chair in a relaxed manner, no longer showing the humility he had shown in front of Brother Fang Tong during the day. He smiled coldly: "Master Chen, you are quite imaginative."

Chen Min'an's expression changed slightly, and he looked a little unhappy.

What does this mean? Calling him stupid?

After all, he was a fourth-rank official, and Fang Jin was just a mere aide, yet he had no respect for him at all?

Fang Jin seemed not to notice his expression and continued to talk to himself, "Is Prince Ning's Mansion so easy to overthrow? He has the Queen Mother behind him."

Even if the Queen Mother is usually rude to Prince Ning, he is still her own son. Can she really ignore him when something happens?

Besides, if you want to bring down a prince, you have to commit the serious crime of treason and rebellion. Killing a civilian is just a crime. Even if it is discovered, it will not cause any serious damage to the Ning Wang Mansion.

"Oh?" Chen Min'an's tone turned cold.

"Then Mr. Fang's move is like a moth flying into a flame."

"No, although I cannot overthrow Prince Ning, I have been able to cause trouble for him and profit from it."

Fang Jin chuckled.

Chen Min'an was not stupid either, and he quickly realized that Fang Jin was not looking for Su Xiran today, but for him.

"Master of your family, my good son-in-law, has been in the Hanlin Academy for so long, it's time for him to move around."

Fang Jin reminded again.

Chen Min'an met his gaze and immediately understood something.

The Prince of Ning is involved in a lawsuit and it will take more than a few days to get out of it, but sending people to the southwest cannot be delayed.

The court would select someone again. If his son could get this job, it would be an opportunity to make a name for himself, but the risk was too great. He might offend the Marquis of Xi'nan and end up dead there...

Chen Min'an hesitated. "I wonder what the Third Princess thinks of the Marquis of Southwest?"

Fang Jin stared at the teacup without blinking. "The southwest is a poor place, and it's difficult for the Marquis to guard it. He's busy with government affairs and has neglected the capital."

Chen Min'an heard that the third princess did not want to find any evidence of the Southwest Marquis's rebellion.

Can……

Chen Min'an frowned: "The southwest region has been out of the control of the imperial court for many years. I'm afraid that His Majesty has made up his mind to take back power this time. Even if he doesn't act now, he will in the future..."

"Master Chen, what are you afraid of? From now on, this Southwest will naturally be loyal to the court and be devoted and devoted."

Fang Jin hinted again.

Chen Min'an felt a chill run down his spine. What did that mean? Did the Marquis of Southwest also side with the prince in the fight? No, was the Marquis of Southwest collaborating with the Third Princess?

The third princess is very bold. Despite her status as a princess, she colludes with foreign officials and is extremely ambitious.

Chen Min'an swallowed, feeling a little frightened, but when he saw Fang Jin's nonchalant look, he slowly calmed down.

No matter how many tricks the princess has, they are all planned for the second prince.

The second prince doesn't like to fight and has always been steady. It's actually a good thing that the third princess works so hard for him.

"However, Hao Kun has accepted the mission to the southwest, and I'm afraid he will offend the Ning Palace. He and the prince are brothers-in-law."

Chen Min'an had some concerns.

With the Chen family's background, it would be of no benefit to them to deal with Prince Ning's Mansion.

"Oh!"

Fang Jin placed the teacup heavily on the table, his face full of gloom.

"Lord Chen is afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind. He doesn't want to take any risks. He is only afraid that my good son-in-law will have no way to make a name for himself in this life and can only live a mediocre life in the Hanlin Academy."

There was disdain in his eyes.

The road ahead has been paved and there is no danger to one's life in the southwest, yet they dare not accept the job. They are such cowards.

Chen Min'an's face darkened for a moment, but he finally managed a smile: "Mr. Fang, calm down. Hao Kun is your son-in-law, and half a son. He knows you are planning this for him."

He finally agreed.

Over the years, he had a visibly brother-in-law relationship with Prince Ning's Mansion, but he was unable to leverage his power.

Even because Su Xiran and Su Qingya have a bad relationship, Prince Ning's Mansion has a tendency to suppress the Chen family.

Since there is no benefit, and he has sided with the Second Prince, but the Ning Palace did not choose the Second Prince. They are not on the same path, so let's tear each other apart.

My son’s future is more important.

Only then was Fang Jin satisfied.

After a while, Chen Haokun and Su Xiran came.

Su Xiran was dressed in silk and had a pearl hairpin on her head, looking very superior.

When they went to Mushan Village, the Fang family had already accepted benefits from the Bo's Mansion and tacitly accepted that she was the Bo's daughter and had nothing to do with the Fang family anymore.

When Fang Jin came to the house, Su Xiran felt embarrassed and was afraid that she would be looked down upon by her in-laws.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the front hall, her father-in-law Chen Min'an said with a smile: "You're here? Xiran, take a look, do you still recognize Ms. Fang? She should be your biological father."

"Hao Kun, you two should kneel down and pay your respects to Mr. Fang. This will make up for the lack of filial piety over the years."

Su Xiran was a little confused about what was going on.

My father-in-law is a fourth-rank official, so why is he so nice to a commoner, disfigured and lame person?

But she readily changed her expression and knelt down with her husband.

"Xiran pays respects to his father."

"Xiran is so unfilial. He hasn't been able to enjoy the company of his father for so many years. I don't know how his father became like this..."

Su Xiran's eyes were red, and she seemed really worried and guilty.

Seeing his wife like this, Chen Haokun couldn't help but speak: "Haokun pays his respects to Master Taishan. Master Taishan, do you have a place to stay in the capital? Why not stay at the Chen Mansion for a while?"

Fang Jin's gaze fell on Su Xiran, and he felt like laughing.

This biological daughter really looks like him.

At least in terms of hypocrisy, she is much more similar to Su Qingya.

When Su Xiran went to Mushan Village, he was so arrogant that he seemed to find his biological father dirty even when he looked at him, and was afraid of being contaminated by him.

Now, he can kneel at her feet again, his eyes full of admiration.

She is such a good daughter to him.

Fang Jin was touched and reached out to help them.

"Good boy, get up quickly. I haven't been able to raise you for many years. I am already very satisfied if you don't blame me."

So Fang Jin stayed at Chen's house that day.

After arranging a guest room and waiting for him to rest, Chen Min'an explained Fang Jin's current situation to his son and daughter-in-law.

Although he is a commoner, he is deeply trusted by the third princess.

More importantly, his arrival this time brought opportunities to Chen Haokun.

Chen Haokun hesitated. "Is it true that the Crown Prince intends to kill Master Taishan? If it's... a slander, I'm afraid the Ning Palace has its own way to deal with it."

By then, Fang Jin, who made the false accusation, will definitely not have a good ending.

If he tries to snatch the job to the southwest, he will be hated.

Su Xiran held his hand and said, "Husband, you must take this position."

"As for whether the case is true or not, we will have our own way...Father, the Third Princess will worry about it."

There was a gleam in her eyes, full of ambition and desire.

Ever since she got married, she has been suppressed by Su Qingya. There is no way, her husband is useless, so she can't hold her head up.

Now she finally has the chance to let her husband suppress Prince Ning, so of course she must seize it.

Chen Min'an also said: "You were the top scorer in the imperial examination back then, and you spent many years in the Imperial Academy. Has your ambition been polished away? You're not even as decisive as Xiran."
